The knowledge of the origin and development of all bodies in the solar system begins with understanding the geologic history and evolution of the universe. The only approach for dating celestial body surfaces is by the analysis of the crater impact density and size. In order to facilitate this process, automatic approaches have been proposed for the impact craters detection. In this article, we propose a novel approach for detecting craters’ rims. The developed method is based on a study of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) geometry, represented as a 3D triangulated mesh. We use curvature analysis, in combination with a fast local quantization method to automatically detect the craters’ rims with artificial neural network. The validation of the method is performed on Barlow’s database.
